Ways Corticon can be used in an ISV application“Internal Use”
Maintaining volatile common logic (using Corticon Studio)
• Lowers costs and speeds time-to-market
• Developers, business analysts (BAs)
• Complete flexibility for metadata, rule complexity, design patterns and deployment
Customizing end-user specific logic (using Corticon Studio)
• Faster, cheaper customizations
• May enable greater degree of customization
• Developers, BAs, implementation consultants
• Complete flexibility for metadata, rule complexity, design patterns
• May influence deployment (more on this later!)
End-user use
Self-service custom rule management (using Corticon Studio)
• Reduces burden on ISV resources
• Requires trained end-user developers / BAs
• Typically constrained to certain rules and ISV-defined meta-data
• Lifecycle and deployment governance can be challenging, constrains viable use cases
Self-service mgt of constrained custom rules (using custom web/mobile/desktop UI)
• Enables end-user independence
• ‘Rules’ managed via web interface
• Non-technical users make the changes
• Only applies to well-constrained scenarios
